I am so fed up with how the DNC has treated RFK Jr. The lawfare and taking him off the ballot in swing states is unacceptable. Really thinking of voting for Trump as a wakeup call to the Democratic party.

The RNC is challenging 3rd parties on the ballots in multiple states. They also like challenging mail-in voting. https://www.reuters.com/legal/new-yorks-top-court-upholds-mail-in-voting-all-rejecting-republican-challenge-2024-08-20/

Hell Republicans are even taking voter signed Abortion ballot measures to court to get them removed from the election. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/us/abortion-ballot-measures-have-had-success-this-year-is-their-biggest-challenge.html

The Republican party also has a history of funding the Green party intentionally to draw Democratic voters away. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/img-src-images-santorum1-jpg-hspace-5-vspace-5-align-left-gop-donors-funded-entire-pa-green-party-drive

You're the one that needs a wakeup call if you think that the Democrats challenging RFK Jr. is unacceptable but what the Republicans are doing is fine.

They're not going to read any of that. You know that, right?

This is whataboutism at its finest. We need to hold our own party to a higher standard. I think we either need to vote 3rd party or for Trump to send a clear message.

In case anyone missed it, this guy is self proclaimed MAGA. He's purposefully trying to pretend to be a Democrat voter to dissuade people, although he's doing a piss poor job. Obviously he thinks everyone else is as dumb as he is.

No we don't. Play the game by the current rules of the system and win. Then try to change the system to be better for next time.

If you give up a massive LEGAL advantage you could have taken and lose, you get nothing. Your standards mean nothing if you hand a win to an opponent who will wreck everything you hold dear.

You want to send them a message? Not voting speaks volumes. Do that instead.

Do you really think cosplaying as MAGA brings any value to this platform or anything in general?

Not cosplaying, post history shows they're just MAGA spreading FUD.

Of all the reasons to be mad at the DNC that's what you're going with? The way they treated Mr. Brainworms whose Venn Diagram between him and Trump has always been dangerously close to a circle?

If you were a RFK voter, then you were never a concern. You wanted to vote for a guy has a freezer full of roadkill.

He is still on the ballot in Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.

The fuck are you on about.

Cool I too am a fan of lawfaremedia.org or whatever the fuck it is. That old dude using chalk to paint a Ukrainian flag in front of the Russian embassy was amazing. And then the Russians violated international customs and local law to clear it off.
